Airplane 2 movie
I absolutely loved the first Airplane movie and was excited when I rented the sequel to it. I wasn’t disappointed.
Set in the future, the movie gave spoofs a new twist by spoofing a classic film, 2001. Instead of being on an airplane, the heros are forced to land a …
The Game Plan Movie

Saw V (2008) movie
Saw V is the latest instillation in the Saw’s series not much really too great to say about it except that it does keep the story going. The series itself has kind of fallen out for me but the movies have become a staple of the horror movie genre …
The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …
Movie : Haeckel’s Tale
Haeckel’s Tale is yet another one hour short film from the Showtime Series Masters of Horror. Directed by John McNaughton I would say its definitely the weakest entry from the first season of the show and in the bottom five of both seasons of the show. John …
Happy Feet
Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.
An approximation of the true nature of how …
Sunless movie
This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …
Ultraviolet (2006)- DVD
2006’s Ultraviolet has an awesome concept. A virus has been discovered that alter humans who are affected by it and transforms them into enhanced beings, which way later on in the film you find out are supposed to be vampires. These affected people are considered outcasts. These “enhanced” humans …

A Monster Calls (2016 Fantasy Drama Film)
Some films are mistakenly advertised as fantasy movies - and you expect to watch these movies with that fairytale-ish ending you thought you deserved but instead you end up crying your heart out because of just how sad they are. I remember watching a 2007 film called Bridge to Terabithia …
The Dead Zone
The Dead Zone was a very spooky and great movie. I thought this film had is all and was a movie that really messed with your mind. Christopher Walken did a great job of acting in this movie! Even though the movie is quite old it is a great film …

Black or White (drama movie)
For me the actor Kevin Costner’s name has become synonymous with watching certain kinds of films. Thus I consider him one of the more “serious” popular actors. Therefore, I found it interesting an refreshing to see that he was doing something a little different when I saw the trailer for …

Greencine
Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …

Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …
Batman & Robin movie
Quite honestly, I have yet to see any of the Batman movies, though I’ve seen lots of clips and stories on filming them throughout the years. I remember back in the era when this Batman & Robin movie was filmed. There were a number of media segments …
Movie “Salt” (2010)

When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …

13 Going on 30 is a delightful comedy that has been done many times before, but still succeeds in getting plenty of laughs.

Movie Firewall
I bought this movie a while back and I am glad I did. It was really good. It’s kind of long but it’s good. There is some action in the movie but the whole movie isn’t full of action. All of the actors do an amazing job in the …
Coneheads
Coneheads was an alright movie. I think it was kind of cheesey and wacky yet funny. The big heads on the cone head people were pretty funny looking. I also liked the acting and voices of the characters in the film. I think the storyline was not very good. It …

Movie The Dinosaur Hunter
The Dinosaur Hunter with Simon McCorkindale.
This movie actually angered me. It gave us an alluring title, but then lied to the viewer. It was not about hunting dinosaurs and had so little action that I found myself playing solitaire while watching it.
